Well the cost of this election has just been made more apparent to me.
Our local member (Labor) has seen fit to start sending out his hate mail, 4 pages worth.
This in turn has given our postie and his mates a heap of OT. He just finished telling me yesterday they didn't finish sorting till 11.30am. He did a bit over half his run having to call for back up both not finishing till after 5.30pm. He normally finishes at 2.30pm.
This of course combined with the 4 pages of glossy printed material which went straight into the recycle bin
This will be the first of a few I feel and just one electorate in Australia.
